Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

The Sovereign LORD loves His creation, and those reborn by the blood of Jesus are set apart ones who are set-up to succeed.

Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV) – “Now unto Him Who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. To You be glory in the church Who is Christ Jesus, now and forevermore, Amen”. (personalized)

These are they who work for God to establish His covenant in the earth and we are able because God is able, and His power works through those made (His) sons and daughters by the blood of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10a (NIV & NKJV) – “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive what God has prepared for those who love Him’ But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.”

Success requires a love walk which includes caring about others as well as self and family. Establishing God’s covenant in the earth necessarily includes allowing God’s power to work through you (and I) in helping others by Christ Jesus’ anointing. It doesn’t mean being taken advantage of; it means being the advantage. Forgiveness is a key because it allows movement on a level which is above or higher than the natural realm; forgiveness enables us to operate on a level in the supernatural realm because the things of God can’t be limited to the natural realm. (Unforgiveness holds steadfastly to the natural.) Those made sons and daughters of God by the blood of Jesus are referred to as saints which means set-apart ones because we are “called” to operate supernaturally in Christ Jesus’ anointing by faith powered by divine love. Blessed to be a blessing necessarily releases rather than hoards because the inheritance given of God through Christ Jesus meets every need (see 1 Peter 1:2-3; 1 Timothy 6:17; Philippians 4:19). We believe we receive of God in the same way we believe we received salvation through Christ Jesus; and we do according to God’s WORD. That is, we adhere to kingdom principles such as divine love as well as seedtime and harvest (see Genesis 8:22; John 15:17); and in so doing receiving from God is not a strain.

Each one of us has received gifts for the benefit of the church which is the Body of Christ. However, staying in one’s lane doesn’t mean working with less because we do by allowing God’s power to flow through us. In 2 Kings 22:13-14, we are shown that Josiah the King sent Hilkiah the Priest and Shaphan the Scribe to inquire of the LORD through Huldah the Prophetess because under the old covenant God only spoke through the Prophets as the people insisted (see Exodus 20:18). Ah, but the birth, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing ushered in a new covenant. Jesus is Lord and our high priest . . . this day, by the blood of Jesus we operate under a new covenant and a new dispensation of grace (see Hebrews 8:6-13; Romans 4:7-8). Jesus has commanded us to go, to bind, and to heal with authority in His Name; moreover the Lord Jesus has commanded that we put our heart into it. The tender heart speaks loudly before Abba Father. Jesus’ heart was/is tender toward man, and in Him we too are to be tender as evidenced by good fruit (see John 15:5; Galatians 5:22).

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
